Processing fee for lost/damaged books: $5/per item. Adding a processing fee helps cover the cost of replacing lost or damaged items, including staff time and supplies, not just the item itself. Makerspace/Materials User Fee: Actual Fee Materials and user fees ensure we can sustain makerspace services by offsetting the ongoing cost of consumable supplies. In addition this allows for continued access, upkeep, and program growth. All the other fees would remain the same. Recommendation: Approve the recommended changes for the fee schedule Page 10 of 20  REPORT REPORT TO: Three Rivers Public Library Board, FROM: Peter Butts, Children's Librarian MEETING DATE: March 24, 2026 Subject: Children's Services Report February 2026 Background Information: Programs -Storytime with Mr. B (2 /3 , 2/10, 2/17, 2/24) Total = 16/11 early learners - Playgroup (2/4, 2/11, 2/18, 2/25) Total=105 -Chess(2/2) Total= 2 -Valenslime (2/4) Total=13 -Take Your Child to the Library Day (2/7) Total=30 -Game Day (2/16) Total=7 -Tiles Day (2/21) Total= 13 -Pokemon Day (2/25) Total= 19 Outreach -Wood St/Shippy (2/2) Total = 36 -Building Blocks (2/16) Total=20 Page 11 of 20 Drop In/Passive Programs -Pokemon Scavenger Hunt Total=22 -Pokemon Biblica Card Drawing Total=20 -Take and Make Total= 15 Facebook contacts : 24 posts, 5103 reached, 52 engagements.

Programming carried on as it has for the last few months and it has been nice to see them come back. They are starting to share any ideas that they have and I have been enjoying hearing their feedback. After a few incidents in the teen space, I decided to rearrange the furniture and move the gaming console out of sight so that younger kids don't immediately see. The teens like the set up and I am finding that there has been a decrease in younger kids wandering to the teen space and adults will move back to their appropriate spaces after seeing the signage. Aside from that, February carried on smoothly. I also began the process of planning for summer reading. I have started to get programming down, but have really focused on introducing a new format for the actual reading part. It's still the very early stages of planning, but I am super excited for this summer and can't wait to see how that takes shape later this year. Overall, this month went smooth and I am pleased with the state of the teen space and for the support in creating a warm and welcoming environment for our teens and I am excited to see where this next month takes us.
